The DNA mutations that drive evolution are generally thought to be fairly random, but a new study suggests there’s some order to the chaos. Comparing the genomes of hundreds of plants grown in a lab, ...

Wolverine, Storm and the rest of the X-Men seem to have emerged randomly after genetic mutations went paranormal, but they might have come out of the womb like that for a reason. There is no organism ...

Researchers have identified evolutionary hotspots in DNA where mutations are more likely. The study authors say these findings will help us in the future to predict the evolution of bacteria and ...

Geneticists have sought to understand the impact of genetic mutations, and what drives and maintains changes in DNA. Researchers have now reconstructed the evolution of a set of genes, and the ...

A study published in Nature Medicine found that monkeypox viruses from the current outbreak have on average 50 differences in their DNA compared to the versions from about four years earlier. That’s ...

Researchers discover unexpected patterns in mutation risks across individuals, uncovering 13 distinct genomic patterns. The study provides crucial insights into cancer evolution, identifying the genes ...

Evolution of pain in patients with metastatic pancreatic carcinoma treated with FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine in a randomized phase III study (ACCORD11/PRODIGE4). This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the ...

Serial circulating tumor DNA analysis can demonstrate rapid clonal dynamics that evolve during response and resistance to both standard chemotherapy and targeted therapy of BRAF-mutant colon cancer ...
